On April 14, XEX Crypto launched a new NFT pool called Xexadons. The set consists of 50 AI-generated ordinal arrangements and aims to provide a unique iteration in the NFT space. Xexadons are a key part of XEX Crypto’s plans to build a cross-platform, cross-chain Web 3 experience.
To achieve this, XEX Crypto has introduced a nested cross-chain storage mechanism whereby users must select the chain they want to share their Xexadons on. The caching mechanism aims to create an interactive and engaging NFT experience, with the added benefit of stimulation.
